第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A

A group of foreign residents married to Japanese talked about their children’s names.
Nicole Despres
Students services manager, 40(American)
We have no intention to live outside Japan so it made sense for the kids to take my Japanese husband’s family name. However, we did want to have a Western name too, so all three of them now have both a Western and Japanese name. We agreed there would be no strange names, spelling or unusual kanji(Chinese characters in the Japanese language). All names had to be easy to say and familiar in both Japanese and English.
John McCracken
Company general manager, 27(American)
My son’s name is Aiden. In part because my wife and I met in university and as she was studying Irish history and I have some links to Scotland and Ireland, I wanted a unique Gaelic(盖尔族的) name. We settled for Aiden as we found kanji that can be used in Japan that means “legendary hero”
Paula Murakami
College women’s Association of Japan, 53(American)
My husband was very excited about choosing names, so I decided to let him choose. He wanted their first names to be Japanese and camp up with names that included the kanji character in his own name. Our boys, Hiroki and Kenta, never had any problems while living on the U. S. West Coast with Japanese names, and I think both as children and as adults, they love their names.
Jeff Ruiz
Recording engineer, 42(Mexican)
My son’s name is Lenny. My wife chose it together with me as we were looking for a name that works in both worlds — mine in Mexico, and hers in Japan — and the name Lenny is common everywhere. In Japanese we write the name in katakana as that is easy for Japanese people who seem to like names in two or three characters.
21. What do we know about the people mentioned in the passage?
A. Nicole and her husband had an agreement on how to name the children.
B. Jeff will remain in Japan as his wife is not used to Mexican life.
C. The four couples have decided to live with the children in Japan forever.
D. Paula and her family would love to live on the U. S. West Coast.
22. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Nicole and her Japanese husband have a daughter and two sons.
B. Paula has little say in making a decision at home.
C. John’s wife is Irish and the couple have only one child.
D. Lenny is a name familiar to Japanese when written the Japanese way.
23. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Is a western name better than a Japanese name?
B. Why does your child have two names?
C. How do you choose your child’s name?
D. Do you settle differences in naming your child?

B
I only got my first smart phone recently. Before that, I had no problems with using older phones — the ones that can call and send messages, but hardly browse Internet. But in 2016 I made the change. While such a mini-computer made life easier, I could very well see why some people opt out of using them.
They are distracting — This is by far the biggest deal with smart phones, in my opinion. Just go outside and you will see it. Many are looking at their phones, not paying attention to the environment and interactions with others. Indeed, the new phones require attention frequently, and people are there to give it.
Privacy concerns — Because smart phones have high-end technology they can be called small computers. They have operating systems almost like your notebook. While this makes them most useful in real life, it also puts them at a privacy breach risk. It is possible for someone to put a virus on the smart phone — the result can be terrible such as sending the stolen data to a hacker. Another thing is the location tracking — the phones definitely make your whereabouts known even when you wouldn’t like. There is not much you can do but to stop using the smart phone, which sadly isn’t an option for many anymore.
Short battery life — The need to charge the device all the time is present with any smart phone I’m aware of. This is the downside of the small size and fine, computer-like technology inside them. In such a small package, the producers cannot install a bigger battery that would provide energy for long hours. At the same time, the performance requirements are bigger and bigger. This creates a dilemma not easily solved: to have high performance or long battery life. Choose one, both are not achievable at the same time.
As you see, there are some strong negatives about owning a smart phone. However, from my personal experience, there are a few good sides too. Less expensive messages and calls and digital maps are some of the benefits that made me change the old cell phone for a smart version.
24. The underlined phrase “opt out of” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to _________.
A. stop B. like C. suggest D. consider
25. One of the factors that people worry about smart phones is that _________.
A. the mini computer makes life easier
B. they are much cheaper and function better
C. personal information might be given away
D. we know about our whereabouts when we use them
26. We can infer from Paragraph 4 that _________.
A. it’s better to use computer-like smartphones
B. the technology in smart phones is up to date
C. operating smartphones consumes lots of power
D. bigger batteries are more beneficial for the users
27. What might the following paragraph talk about?
A. The downsides of smartphones. B. Advantages of smart phones.
C. Choice of smart phone versions. D. The battery problem of smart phones.

C
Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third-generation native of Brownsville, Texas, Mildred Garza never planned to move away. Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children, she politely refused. Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms. Garza finally say yes. That was four years ago. Today all three generations regard the move as a success, giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren. Yet there is evidence suggesting that the trend is growing. Even ex-president Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. According to a study by grandparents.com, 83 percent of the people said Mrs. Robinson’s decision will influence grandparents in the American family. Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama’s family.
“In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn’t get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,” says Christine Crosby, publisher of Grand, a magazine for grandparents. “We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them, especially when you’re raising children.”
Moving is not for everyone. Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices, but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead. Having your grandchildren far away is hard, especially knowing your adult child is struggling, but giving up the life you know may be harder.
28. Why was Garza’s move a success?
A. It strengthened her family ties.
B. It improved her living conditions.
C. It enabled her to make more friends.
D. It helped her know more new places.
29. What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson’s decision?
A. 17% expressed their support for it.
B. Few people responded sympathetically.
C. 83% believed it had a bad influence.
D. The majority thought it was a trend.
30. What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?
A. They were unsure of themselves.
B. They were eager to raise more children.
C. They wanted to live away from their parents.
D. They had little respect for their grandparents.
31. What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?
A. Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B. Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C. Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D. Get to know themselves better.

D
The Beagle Brigade
Return to the United States from a trip abroad, and your luggage will get inspected by the Beagle Brigade, a team of beagles and their human partners. Working with human partners, the beagles sniff out potential threats to American agriculture.
An orange or apple, for example, might have a Mediterranean fruit fly. Hams could carry a disease such as hog cholera. These and other pests could destroy farmers’ crops and livestock. “Once we introduce something that is not part of the environment, there may not be any controls of it in the environment,” notes Lisa Davis at the National Dog Detector Training Center in Orlando, Florida. “The best thing for us to do is prevent it from coming across the border and becoming established.”
When a beagle sniffs specific food smells, it signals its partners by sitting there. The human officer then investigates. When the dog is right — which happens 90 percent of the time — it gets an edible(可食用的) treat.
“The dog is not out there working,” explains Davis. “It’s out there playing. It’s a game to the dog.” The handlers give the beagles plenty of food and love. They make sure they get first-class medical attention, too. When the dogs finally retire after 9 to 11 years, they will find caring homes for them. It’s a dog’s life indeed!
Their people partners work and study somewhat harder. As specialized quarantine(检疫) officers, most hold degrees in the biological sciences or related sciences.
How well does the Beagle Brigade do its job? “On average,” notes Davis, “each year our 54 teams prevent around 75,000 prohibited, restricted items.” Since even one infected item could cause widespread destruction, that’s a great result for America’s agricultural environment.
32. According to the article, what is the problem with agricultural products brought into the United States by passengers traveling from abroad?
A. They generate similar types of food smells.
B. They are difficult to identify, even with trained dogs.
C. They must be inspected before being allowed to enter the country.
D. They may carry something that could harm the local agricultural environment.
33. According to the article, how does the beagle signal that it has found a suspicious food product?
A. By barking at its partners. B. By begging for a treat.
C. By sitting next to the item. D. By playing a game.
34. How is the beagle congratulated for finding a specific food product?
A. The handler praises it with a hug.
B. The beagle gets to play for a few hours.
C. The beagle gets to retire to a caring home.
D. The handler gives it an edible reward.
35. In the article, the author supports the use of the Beagle Brigade by ______?
A. providing statistics about the number of items detected by the dogs
B. showing that the dogs enjoy discovering prohibited items
C. pointing out that good homes are found for the dogs when they retire
D. praising the fact that the dogs work for a government agency

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Reducing Test Anxiety
Test anxiety arises when a student excessively worries about doing badly in a test. This can become a major hindrance(造成妨碍的事物) to test performance and cause extreme nervousness and memory problems among other symptoms. 36
Think positively. Scientific research has shown that our expectations can affect our performance. 37 However, if you expect that you’ll do poorly, studying may not be enough to help you perform well. Therefore, it is a wise choice to think positively.
38 Fear releases adrenaline (肾上腺素) , preparing the body to deal with danger. Your heart rate and breathing speed up and you may feel shaky, sweaty, or dizzy. Anything you can do to reduce these physical reactions will help you think more clearly and feel more confident.
Eat before the test. Don’t skip breakfast to study. 39 Choose protein-filled snacks and avoid sugar, which can give you quick energy that may run out in the middle of the test. Eat something even if you feel sick — try crackers or toast to settle your stomach. Avoid caffeine and energy drinks, which can increase anxiety.
Get a good night’s sleep before the test. Studies have shown that you will do well in the test if you get enough sleep. 40 If the test is later in the day or the evening, or if you just couldn’t get a full night’s sleep, take a nap. Research has shown that a short nap — less than an hour — can improve alertness, memory, creativity, productivity, and moods, and can decrease stress.
A. Calm your body.
B. Build up yourself.
C. The following are tips on reducing test anxiety.
D. If you expect to do well in the test, you still need to study hard.
E. Make sure you eat something an hour or two before taking the test.
F. However, if you spend all night studying, you will do badly in the test.
G. Our performance is mainly determined by how hard we study before the test.

There are all kind of stress in our daily life. How to manage stress is so an important problem that we had to deal with it properly. I think stress itself doesn’t exist. It’s why we consider things to be bad and regard all of them as our own fault and won’t forgive us. And then stress comes out. As we all know, there is nothing you can achieve with error. So it’s impossible to expecting everything to be perfectly. If we have done our best, though not successful, but there is nothing to regret. And we don’t need blame ourselves continuously. Then we will feel less stress. We will stay healthy and do well in the future.

【答案】
61. a 62. made 63. professional 64. have realized 65. but

【解析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。一个人不要在意别人对你的看法，你该关注的是做你想做并认为值得做的事情。
61.考查冠词。此处用a泛指“怪人”，并非指前面提到的那个怪人。句意：作为一个怪人的感觉不好。故填a。

70.考查非谓语动词。be worth doing表示“值得做某事”，此处为固定短语。故填doing。
第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）
第一节 短文改错（满分10分）
【答案】
1.第一句，kind改为kinds
2.第二句，so改为such
3.第二句，had改为have
4.第四句，why改为because
5.第四句，us改为ourselves
6.第六句，with改为without
7.第七句，expecting改为expect
9.第八句，删去but
10.第九句，在need后加to
【解析】本文为说明文。文章叙述了日常生活中遇到压力时，如何妥善处理压力是一个非常重要的问题。作者认为压力源于我们自身，生活中出现问题时只要我们不自责，就不会有那么大压力，我们也就会更健康，过得更好。
1.考查名词复数。句意：我们的日常生活中有各种压力。名词kind前被all修饰，所以要用复数，故把kind改为kinds。
2.考查固定用法。句意：如何处理压力是一个非常重要的问题，我们不得不妥善处理。“so+adj.+a/an+noun+that从句”或“such+a/an+adj.+noun+that从句”都是固定用法，意为“如此……以至于……”，分析句子结构可知，本句中要用such an important problem，故把so改为such。
3.考查时态。分析本文的时态，可知本文叙述的是一个事实，因此要用一般现在时，had改为have。
4.考查语境及连词。句意：我认为压力本身不存在。这是因为我们认为事情不好，是我们自己的错，不原谅我们自己。故把why改为because。
5.考查语境及代词。句意：我们认为把所有的不好都归咎于是我们自己的错，无法原谅自己。主语是we，宾语又回到主语身上，所以要用反身代词。故把us改为ourselves。
6.考查介词。分析语境及句意可知，此处是双重否定而非肯定，故把with改为without。
7.考查固定句式。句意：所以不可能期望一切都完美。It is+adj.+to do sth.为固定句式，it是形式主语，真正的主语是to do sth.，此处要用动词不定式，所以把expecting改为expect。
8.考查形容词。分析句子可知，本句中的be为系动词，后面要跟形容词作表语，而perfectly为副词，故把perfectly改为perfect。
9.考查连词。句意：如果我们已经尽了最大的努力，虽然没有成功，但也没有什么可遗憾的。本句中前面已有转折连词though，所以but是多余的，故去掉but。
10.考查固定用法。句意：我们不需要自责。need做实意动词时，要用need to do，做情态动词时，是need do。分析句子可知，need在本句中作实意动词，所以need后缺少动词不定式中的to，故在need后添加to。
第二节 书面表达（满分25分）
【范文】
Dear Mr. Black,
How is it going? I am Li Hua, an exchange student from China. I am writing to tell you that I have got a great idea for the school newspaper. We can set a column named Chinese culture.
On the one hand, as we all know, China is one of the four ancient countries in the world with a long history. On the other hand, it has rich culture, such as printing, paper cutting and so on. We can all benefit a lot from Chinese culture.
If you think this is good idea, we can make a start now.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
